You can open doors brands can't reach alone. Let's connect them to you.
A wholesaler or distributor holds something brands desperately need, established channels, relationships and the reach to get products in front of retailers and buyers at scale. But matching the right brands to your channels, beyond your existing book, is slow, relationship-by-relationship work. ZOMZEY accelerates it. Brands post real, paid opportunities, distribution deals, channel features, reach partnerships, and you choose the ones that fit your channels and your strengths.
How it works for wholesalers & distributors
It’s simple. Browse opportunities from brands wanting the reach and channels you offer. See one that fits? Make your offer and set your terms. If they choose you, you deliver the distribution or reach, and you get paid securely through the platform. You stay in control, you only ever take on what fits your channels and your business.
What makes ZOMZEY different
On ZOMZEY, you’re valued for what you actually deliver, real reach, real channels, real results, not a vanity metric. Every deal you complete builds your verified track record, and the stronger it grows, the higher you rank and the more brands seek you out. Every Member is verified and every deal is funded through ZOMZEY Protected Payments before you start. We built ZOMZEY so the businesses that move products to market get rewarded for the reach they’ve built.

ZOMZEY for wholesalers: your questions
Is ZOMZEY free for wholesalers and distributors?
Yes. Wholesalers join free as Hubs, are listed in Discover free and pay commission only when a paid deal completes. Shops and Communities Pro is optional and lowers the commission once you are trading regularly; the pricing page lists every figure, and there is no listing fee and no charge for being found.
How are wholesalers paid on ZOMZEY?
The brand funds the deal under Protected Payments before the promotion, listing or distribution push starts. You deliver what was agreed, upload evidence such as a dated catalogue page, a trade mailing or a stockist list, and the payment is released to your payout method once the Member approves it within the review window.
What can wholesalers sell on ZOMZEY?
Paid promotion to the channels you already run: a featured slot in a trade catalogue or price list, a mention in a mailing to retail customers, a sample campaign to your stockists, a place at a trade event you host, or an introduction to the buyers who trust you. Wholesalers price each item on a rate card with a clear description.
Do wholesalers need to label paid promotion?
Yes, wherever a brand has paid for position or a mention. Say so in the catalogue, the mailing or the listing, and keep your own buying recommendations separate. The ASA and CMA guidance linked above explains what counts, and clear labelling is what keeps the trust of the retailers you supply.
What evidence do wholesalers upload?
Dated copies of the catalogue page, mailing or listing where the promotion appeared, the reach or order figures the offer promised, and a note of the dates it ran. Evidence lives on the deal page, so approval is against what you both agreed rather than from memory.
How do wholesalers attract the right brands?
Describe your channels and your customer base honestly, show past promotions in your showcase, connect your accounts so your figures are validated, and keep your rate card current. Every completed deal adds a review and lifts your Star tier, which is what brands compare when they choose between wholesalers.
Can wholesalers keep control of what they carry?
Yes. Paid promotion never obliges you to stock a product or to recommend it. You take on what fits your channels and your customers, you set the terms, and you can decline anything that does not belong. ZOMZEY records the agreement and protects the payment; the commercial decision stays with you.
What if a brand changes the brief after I accept?
Changes are agreed on the deal page and recorded next to the original terms, so nothing changes until you both say so. If the new ask is more work, quote for it before you agree; wholesalers stay in control when the record is kept in one place.
In short, wholesalers earn on ZOMZEY by selling the reach and the channels they already have, with the payment protected until the promotion has happened. ZOMZEY brings the brands to you and keeps the record.
